AIR FILTER REMOVAL & REPLACEMENT
The LabeLase® 1000 Tag Printer includes a light-duty foam filter element, intended for use in a normal
office environment. It is not intended to protect the printer from industrial contaminants or vapors, typical
of a factory or mill environment.
As the filter element accumulates dust and pollen over time, air flow through the printer may be reduced.
This may cause excessive dust to accumulate on the internal optics (lenses and mirrors), which may shorten
their life considerably. Therefore, it is important to monitor the condition of the filter and determine the
appropriate cleaning frequency for your specific environment.
At high duty cycles when printing large batches of tags with a high percentage of black (printed) area,
reduced air flow may also cause the internal temperature sensor to automatically shutdown the laser tube
until it cools back to its normal operating temperature – this is normal.
The filter cover is located on the rear
of the printer, and is held in place
by two thumb screws.
Loosen the thumb screws and carefully remove the
cover and the foam filter element underneath.
Carefully blow any lint or dust off the filter, or
gently wash it in soap and water. Dry the filter
thoroughly before reinstalling.
